It probably has to do with the fact that you haven't put a "|" anywhere
so only the WAITING type is one that indicates a completed task?  Look
at the Workflow states section of the manual.

Something like this might work better for you:

   #+TODO: TODO NEXT IN-PROGRESS NOTES FIXME | WAITING DONE

Note the move of DONE to the end and the addition of |.  The important
thing about the move of DONE is not that it be last but that it be
placed after the |.
